Description
1 GB 2 066 694 A 1
SPECIFICATION A bubble column with draft device
The present invention relates generally to a draft device for a bubble column and, more specifically a bubble column having plural plates. A bubble column is a reaction vessel which is generally used for a -reaction wherein gas and liquid are mixed, particularly for fermentation, and which is supplied at its 5 bottom with a gas such as air for causing agitation therein.
A bubble column has a number of advantages over a reaction vessel having an agitator, such as lower cost of installation, easier maintenance and a higher efficiency of agitation per unit power.
However, disadvantageously, the liquid in the column is circulated at a low rate, and the bubbles formed in the column are difficult to remove.
As an improved bubble column, there has been proposed a bubble column having a draft tube of cylindrical construction which is coaxial with the column, as disclosed in Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 99380/1973. In such device, either tne outside or inside of the draft tube is aerated or supplied with a gas, and after the gas is caused to flow upward in the aerated area, it flows downward through the non-aerated area, so that the agitation of the liquid in the column 15 may be enhanced. The formed bubbles are entrained in the down flow and disappear.
However, in some reaction procedures, it is necessary to supply a large quantity of culture medium as the reaction proceeds. When a bubble column is used for such reaction, the level of the liquid in the column changes as its quantity increases. For reactions of this type, there has been proposed a bubble column having a draft tube of which the height is adjustable to maintain the same effect of agitation 20 when the quantity of the liquid in the column is changed as is disclosed in Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 55780/1979. In this known device, a complicated arrangement is, however, required for varying the height of the draft tube during the reaction. It is, therefore, desirable to develop a simple device which provides an effective liquid circulation in a bubble column. To this end, it has been found that a draft device having a plurality of plates provided in a bubble column enables 25 efficient circulation of the liquid in the column and substantial gas flow entraining bubbles in addition to the abovementioned effect of a draft tube.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a bubble column having a draft device comprising a plurality of coaxially disposed plates wherein each plate has one vertical edge in outwardly spaced, overlapping relation to a vertical edge of an adjacent plate, and the other vertical edge in 30 inwardly spaced, overlapping relation to the vertical edge of the other adjacent plate.
There has thus been broadly outlined the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject of the claims appended hereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that this invention may be utilized as the basis for designing other applications for carrying out the purposes thereof.
One embodiment of the invention has been chosen for purposes of illustration and description, and is shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the specification, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of draft device of the invention as provided in a bubble column; 40 Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line A-A' of Figure 3, in which the arrows show the direction of flow of the liquid; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line B-B' of Figure 2.
The draft device of the present invention comprises a plurality of plates 2 coaxially disposed in a bubble column 1 which is provided at the bottom with an aeration pipe 3.
The size and form of the draft device of the present invention may be varied depending on the size of the bubble column and the kind of the reaction. It generally comprises 2 to 30 plates 2, and preferably 4 to 16 plates 2. As for the height, it is desirable that the upper ends of plates 2 are slightly below the level of the liquid in the column when the supply of gas is off. The plates overlap each other so that the total surface area of all the plates will be 1 to 4 times as large as the apparent surface area Of 50 the draft device. The space between the face of a plate and an adjacent plate is variable according to the viscosity of the culture liquor and diameter of column 1. Usually the space between overlapping faces is 1 to 25 cm.
Plates 2 may be square, rectangular, rhombic, trapezoidal, or of any other appropriate shape. The cross-sectional configuration of each plate, may have the form of a straight, curved or bent line, or a 55 combination thereof. As is illustrated in Fig. 2, however, it is preferable that the transverse cross-section of each plate 2 is a curved line and most preferably an are of a circle. In this regard, the curvature of the arcs is preferably between that of the circle of the column 1 and that of the apparent circle formed by the plates 2 when the centers of the arcs are on the circumference. The diameter of the apparent circle of the plates 2 is generally 0.65 to 0.75 that of the diameter of column 1. 60 Plates 2 may have a hollow box-like structure, and the thickness of the plates is not critical and thus need not be uniform. Plates 2 may be constructed of various materials depending on the kind of the reaction to be carried out in the bubble column. Generally, those materials usually used for forming the inner surface of a reaction vessel, including iron, stainless steel and plastics may be utilized.
2 GB 2 066 694 A 2 The plates can be fixed in the column as baffle plates are usually mounted in a vessel. While the draft device generally has a cylindrical shape which is coaxial with the bubble column, it may also form a frustum having an open top, or a combination of a cylinder and a frustum. The draft device of this invention may also be used in combination with a known draft tube or in the form of two or more units 5 disposed one above another.
Excellent effects can be attained by using the present device. For example, it has a high bubble breaking effect owing to a powerful flow of entrainment of the liquid in the column; and it is simple in construction, and does not require any operation outside the device.
The flow and agitation of the fluid in the bubble column provided with the present draft device maybe generally described as follows. Then air is introduced into the column through an aeration pipe 3 10 provided at the bottom thereof in the region between the draft device and the column (hereinafter referred to as the 'outer periphery'), an upward flow of the liquid occurs along the outer periphery of the device, while a downward flow of the liquid occurs inside the device. A portion of the liquid flowing along the outer periphery enters the draft device through the spaces between the plates 2. The device has a function of separating its internal and external spaces from each other, and thereby produces the draft effect. When the liquid flows into the draft device through the spaces between the plates 2, it is given a force of rotation about the center of the device as it is guided along the inner surfaces of the plates 2, so that a gyrating flow of the liquid is formed as is illustrated by the arrows in Fig. 2.
As the liquid approaches the inner wall of the colums 1, it tends to rise due to the centrifugal force.
This effect, in combination with the pressure drop of the liquid flowing through the spaces between the 20 plates, and upward movement of the gas, creates a swirling action. The swirl prevents flow of the liquid toward the center of the draft device in the lower portion thereof, and promotes liquid flow toward the center on the surface thereof. The swirl also entrains the bubbles formed on the surface of the liquid, and the bubbles are broken very effectively thus promoting entrainment and agitation. 25 A bubble column provided with the draft device of the present invention is advantageously used in 25 any reaction wherein gas and liquid are mixed, especially in liquid fermentation using an aerobic microorganism. For example, the bubble column is used in the liquid fermentation for producing amino acids, organic acids, nucleic acids, antibiotics, enzymes, etc. Certain specific applicatic-ns of the present invention are illustrated in the following representative examples.
